My boxer has recurring pus pockets on her belly and legs. Should she see a vet?

Question

My almost one year old boxer has pus pockets all over her belly and underside of all her legs. They go away for a day maybe but then get really bad all over. I Do I need to bring her in? She's mainly a house dog but goes outside a lot. Pet's info: Dog | Boxer | Female | spayed | 11 months and 17 days old

Hello! Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! From the pictures you attached, it certainly looks like Miley is dealing with a skin infection. If you are able to get in to see your veterinarian, I would definitely get her checked out by her vet. Most likely Miley is going to require oral antibiotics, medicated shampoos and possibly some supplements to help deal with the infection. I do not know specifically what the cause of the skin infection was, but allergies can predispose them to developing skin infections. Your veterinarian can also talk to you about treating the primary problem, which might be the allergy. Please feel free to contact me if you have any further questions or concerns regarding Miley. I am also available via phone or text consultation.
